ULK2 Antibody: ULK2, also known as ATG1B, is a key serine/threonine protein kinase probably acting at the most upstream step of autophagosome formation. Knockout of ULK2 results in a severe defect in the autophagy pathway. ULK2 is highly conserved among eukaryotes and shows high homology with its related protein ULK1. Both ULK1 and ULK2 form a complex with ATG13 and FIP200 that mediates TOR signaling and is essential for autophagy. Like ULK1, ULK2 is also thought to be involved in early neuronal growth and differentiation.
